Most people don't know Silence of the Lambs began production with a substantial product placement deal with PepsiCo, which called for Doritos and Pepsi drink products to be featured heavily throughout the film. Several scenes were shot, but the deal eventually fell apart when PepsiCo executives insisted that the famous Hannibal Lecter line, "I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice chianti," be changed to "I ate his Nacho Cheesier Doritos with some Cooler Ranch Doritos and...

A photographer has his camera all set up to take a gentleman's picture. The subject checks his face in a hand mirror, and the photographer poses him. Just as the photographer is about to take the picture, the subject gets up to look at the camera more closely. The frustrated photographer soon becomes quite impatient.

André Bazin (1918-58) is credited with almost single-handedly establishing the study of film as an accepted intellectual pursuit. Bazin can also be considered the principal instigator of the equally influential auteur theory: the idea that, since film is an art form, the director of a movie must be perceived as the chief creator of its unique cinematic style. Volume 1 of The Catholic Critic: André Bazin on Hollywood Movies, 1945-1958 contains, for the first time in English, much of Bazin’s...
